Famous quotes containing the word thought:

    The Unicorn looked dreamily at Alice, and said “Talk, child.”
    Alice could not help her lips curling up into a smile as she began: “Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before!”
    “Well, now that we have seen each other,” said the Unicorn, “if you’ll believe in me, I’ll believe in you. Is that a bargain?”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
